Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina

made me read books

A cute little arc for Elaina right at the end. The animation was ramped up as we see a witch fight in this episode. But what left me in awe is Elaina's VA, that has to voice lots of characters here, so props to the VA! The episode itself really bring out Elaina's feelings so far.

Another fun episode, if anything, like the title, it is a continuation of sort from the previous episode. It's fun and chaotic, as we see the two apprentices collab. I like how we meet lots of familiar faces, and Elaina finally get the confimation about her teacher too.

A fun little backstory for the two teachers, as stated from the episode title. It's fun, especially after last episode. I really like how we get to see two characters and how they are outside of their interaction with Elaina. It's fun with action too! All in all a fun episode.

I did NOT expect that. From the beginning of the episode, the tonal shift is palpable, but never would I thought it'll come this far. I like how at the end Elaina admitted that she is inexperience, she lives in her bubble in a way. I do wonder is there any limit on being a witch.

A fun little detective story for Elaina. Even if the mystery itself is a bit predictable, how it is executed is really fun and funny. Props to Sheila's writing as she brings out how fun this episode is. And I really like how it didn't get as dark as the prior episode, just fun.

Two tales about two separated groups. Both lighthearted and fun in their own way. I really like how the first one happened probably not too long before Elaina arrived. And the second story is where the comedy shines. I really like how both storied concluded, which is nice.

Another fun adventure with Elaina as once more we see a familiar face. It's fun, heist-like episode that thankfully ends in one episode. I really like the lightheartedness of the plot and how funny some scene is. The side characters are charming as well. Hoping to see more!

From the shocking and darker toned episodes previously, we finally got another fun and light episode where we meet a familiar face. I do like how this episode just as is, no over complicated plot and just lighthearted fun. Seeing Elaina smile and is enough to make it fun for me!

I do like the self-contained style of this anime, as we follow Elaina's journey. This time, I feel like it explored grief, in a sense. I would've prefer it if we can let Elaina to relate a bit with the new character, but this is already fun as it is. The fighting scene was good.

Elaina feels morally dubious in this episode. As the plot shifted to a darker tone, we see that Elaina took a stance which is a bit grey. I enjoy and understand why she did the thing she did. A similar vibe from her to Kino from Kino no Tabi. Hoping her morality is explored more

A self contained episode with a wholesome and light plot to it. I really like how we get to see how different Elaina is from the episode before, especially before she met Fran. It's great when a story is consistent with its character. But I do want some lore for the magic system.

From the first episode, the plot seemed to be a lot lighter than what I expected it to be. I really like that from the get go we already see some development on Elaina herself, which is great. The animation is good enough, especially for a magical anime such as this one.

It’s one of the best anime endings I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame this story ends after just 12 episodes, but I hope our witch Elaina’s journey never ends. Discovering the other paths the protagonist could have taken was a unique experience—each one was completely different.

This episode had a little bit of everything: love, incest, epic moments, and long-awaited encounters. I give this episode a 10/10. What’s in store for us in the final episode???

I love that the anime doesn't just focus on Elaina, but also does a great job of developing the world the story presents. This episode didn't feature our beautiful genius witch, but in exchange we got to see the adventures of some truly wonderful witches.

What a dark and heartbreaking chapter. It’s best to leave the past as a memory and learn from it so we can move forward with our lives.

This episode reaffirmed my fear of dolls—those things will come to life someday and do terrible things. It was nice to see our beloved witch with a new look; her short hair makes her look even more like a little girl than she already does—she’s simply beautiful!!!

Self-cest now!? The multiple-personality gimmick, anime tropes and references were great with each character version. A great way to end the season, with a retrospective on what it could have been for Elaina and how to deal with regrets. Title-drop included.

Yuri, incest, and body swap!? This episode had quite a fun gimmick, and the town Elaina was visiting was beautiful. The buildings and architecture made me enjoy the scenes even more. It was a fun watch.
